Where does Modesto get its water from?

Modesto gets its water from a combination of sources, primarily the Stanislaus River and groundwater. The city operates a network of wells that tap into the groundwater aquifer, along with surface water rights from the river. Additionally, Modesto is part of the Tri-Dam Project, which helps manage water resources in the region. The city’s water supply is carefully managed to meet the needs of its residents and agricultural demands.
